MAINE'S STATE BUDGETThere is a wealth of information on Maine's 600-page biennial budget as well as other resources relating to state spending at the Legislature's nonpartisan Office of Fiscal and Program Review. Below is a link to download a series of basic charts I developed showing the biennial budget as it appeared a few years ago. While specific numbers may have changed slightly, the general areas of income and expense illustrate how the state allocates its resources.​

Hello - I'm Representative Erik Jorgensen, Representing Maine House District 41, which includes Deering Center and some of the Portland neighborhoods near the University of Southern Maine.

I hope you'll be in touch if you have questions, concerns or legislative matters that should be brought to my attention. I can be e-mailed on the "contact" page of this website, or directly, at ejorgensen@maine.rr.com​

SPECIAL MESSAGE:THIS NOVEMBER PLEASE VOTE YES ON 4!

I am very proud of the fact that my University of Maine bond package has advanced - it survived a veto and was enacted over the summer. Now, it's up to YOU and the voters of Maine to approve this critical series of investments in University facilities and programs. No campus will benefit more from this than our own University of Southern Maine. This bond has the package to strengthen all of our universities, and transform USM.
